French "Jean Bart/Richelieu" questions

I have both Jean Bart and Richelieu in 1/700 in my stash (both Trumpy kits) and am thinking of starting one of them for a change of pace. I asked White Ensign about their PE set and apparently the set may or may not be available until late this year. Not a real problem as I can use some generic PE for lifelines and railings. My question concerns mostly Jean Bart (1955 version). The photos I have looked at seem to indicate radars as mostly British style while the color scheme seems to be overall light gray with dark gray decks and black for deck machinery and anchor chains & anchors. I also have Richelieu in 1/700 but not sure if that model depicts the ship just after her overhaul at the Brookly Navy Yard. If thats the case for Richelieu I'm guessing early US style radars etc. Does anyone have any other ideas on these two ships. I kinda like their looks and would also lke to see Dunkerque/Strasbourg in plastic too.

Another question: my time as a boatswain mate was very short, does anyone remember the color coding on anchor chain links? I do remember that if you see red links to clear the foc'sl immediately as the bitter end of the anchor chain is coming out of the chain locker really fast and ya don't want to be there. (I have an idea for a diorama I'd like to do sometime in the future.) Thanks for any input. RickM
